Journey Display Content Selection for Motion Sickness Relief
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of display devices during journeys, especially in vehicles, can lead to motion sickness due to the conflict between the user's sense of motion and the visual content displayed.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that select content for display based on the route information and detect specific portions of the journey likely to cause motion sickness, then adjust the content to alleviate this issue, such as by dynamically adjusting the image location on the display or selecting content with lower visual indicators of motion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If display devices are used during journeys to provide visual content, then information delivery and entertainment are improved, but motion sickness is caused due to sensory conflict
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by dynamically adjusting the display content based on detected journey characteristics. The system continuously monitors journey data and adapts the visual content in real-time, transitioning from static content delivery to dynamic content adjustment that responds to changing motion conditions, thereby reducing sensory conflict while maintaining information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters of the displayed content based on journey characteristics. Specifically, it modifies content selection, motion intensity, and visual dynamics parameters according to detected journey portions, transforming the display system from a fixed-parameter device to an adaptive system that adjusts content parameters to minimize motion sickness while preserving essential information delivery.
2Ease of operation
If autonomous vehicles allow passengers to use display devices freely, then passenger comfort and entertainment are improved, but motion sickness increases due to disconnect between sense of motion and attention
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by using journey detection data to inform content selection decisions. The system creates a closed-loop control where journey characteristics are continuously monitored and fed back to adjust the displayed content, enabling the display system to respond adaptively to passenger motion conditions and reduce the disconnect between sensed motion and visual attention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by detecting journey characteristics in advance and pre-selecting appropriate content before motion sickness occurs. The system proactively analyzes journey data and prepares suitable content selections ahead of time, rather than reacting after symptoms appear, thereby preventing motion sickness while maintaining passenger comfort and ease of operation.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method of selecting content for display during a journey to alleviate motion sickness, the method comprising: receiving information indicative of a route for a journey; detecting at least a first portion of the journey having a first predetermined characteristic; identifying a time period corresponding to the first portion of the journey; and selecting one or more items of content having a second predetermined characteristic for display over the time period.
